JAMES V. H. JONES, OF JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK.

VENEER-BRICK BINDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 717,210, dated December 30, 1902.

Application filed April 11, 1902.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES V. H. JONES, a citizen of the United States,residing at J amestown, county of Chautauqua, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Veneer-Brick Binder, of which the following, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to the means used for binding or staying brick veneer to its wooden framework; and my improvement consists in providing a galvanized strap-iron angle-piece for nailing to the framework, having a hook at its outer end to engage aband of the strapiron and a simple hook-lap for said band.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a framework with brick veneer having my binder. Fig. 2 is a detail giving side and plan views of the various parts and showing corner and straight laps or joints.

Similar numerals refer to corresponding parts. j

l is the studding of the framework.

2 is the brick veneer.

3 is the sheeting.

4 is my angle-piece, having hook 5 at its outer end and angle 6 for nailing to studding l or sheeting 3. Galvanized strap-iron band 7 is inclosed in the hook 5 and laid flat between the brick, being embedded in the mortar, and extending around the building, the ends of the straight laps being joined or hooked together, as at 8, and the corners, as 9, or, better still, as 10, joint 10 accomplishing the purpose and having only three thicknesses of strap iron instead of four, as in joint 9. The end 11 being turned on itself for a short distance, joint 10 is therefore better for use between fine pressed brick,

where the space is limited between the courses.

of brick.

It is not necessary to place a binder between every course of brick. I find that placing one about every seventh course, as shown, best serves my purpose.

My binder can be used with brick, stone, or any such material which is laid in courses. These continuous iron bands, with firmlyunited .joints inclosing the frame at about every fifteen inches of its height, greatly strengthen the entire structure. It will also be seen that the bricklayer can easily hook my strap-iron angle-piece 4: over the baud7 and slip it along the band to any desired position.

I claim as new- 1. In a building having walls composed of wooden framework and brick or stone veneer,
